The floating building at Salpare Bay Marina in Oregon sits on a match-cast, stamped concrete platform. The building has office space, laundry facilities and restrooms.
DESCRIPTION
Floating buildings are another application for floating platforms. There are many reasons for placing a structure on the water. Lack of upland property, convenience and ambiance are the most common.
Buildings require rigid foundations. Our match-cast design ensures the platform performs as a single unit. With a solid foundation, you can use traditional methods to build the structure on top of the platform without worry of long-term performance of the building.
